19 unmissable concerts taking place at Leeds' finest independent venues this month

Keep it local and support your independent venues this month - they are offering an incredibly eclectic mix of concerts to close out April.

The local diary is teeming with emerging talent, cult legends, and experimental pioneers, from the gritty, boom-bap lyricism taking over Belgrave Music Hall to the atmospheric, nocturnal synth-pop at the Brudenell.

Whether you are after the deafening, beautiful walls of shoegaze sound or the cosmic, psychedelic rituals of Japan’s most famous space-rock explorers, the next 19 days offer a literal world of music right on your doorstep.

We’ve curated the 19 ‘choicest’ shows to carry you through to the end of the month —one sticky floor and distorted guitar riff (or elongated bass drop) at a time.
